Multiple sources say that Bush received several warnings from the CIA about a potential attack, but that those warnings didn't fit the agenda that Bush and Cheney had.
I think blaming it all on Bill Clinton is about partisanship, not reality.
You sound like one of those crazy conspircy theory people claiming the government did it.
There is ample evidence that the CIA was working overtime trying to figure out when, and where the attacks would be, sorry, but Bush, and Chaney didn't do it.
Bill Clinton could have solved the problem by dealing with bin Laden, but his complete incompliance cost thousands of Americans their lives.

IF bin Laden was known to be an imminent threat, WHAT did Bush do about getting to him in the almost 8 months he had before 9/11?
I'll make it easy for you and give you multiple choice:
1) NOTHING
2) NOTHING
3) NOTHING
4) NOTHING
The correct answer is NOTHING, he was too busy plotting an invasion/occupation of a country that had done nothing to us while ignoring what you allege was a known threat.

Why didn't Bill act in the 8 years he had?
By the time Bush was in office, Bin Laden was in hiding.
Clinton had the chance, but failed to act.
Heck, Hillary has more balls than Bill, she would have taken out Bin Laden.

a potential attack. No where's, when's, how's or who's. Obama's FBI had several warnings about multiple individuals so far and failed. They even had the WHO's and the administration told them to back off. Talk about not fitting the agenda, that's reckless in every sense of the word and most of all dangerous and look what happened. MANY people killed as a result.

An imminent attack, at the hands of Al Qaeda.
You can ignore the facts if you want. But that was part of the problem, Bush and Cheney were picking and choosing what intel to give weight to. Frankly, Trump seems inclined to follow the same path. Worse, he seems inclined to let Putin do the picking and choosing.

You can try to discredit me all you want. O'Neill and Clarke were there at the time, and their books reveal that Bush and Cheney were cherry-picking intel to support their agenda. Bill Clinton did have opportunities to stop Bin Laden, but Bush and Cheney were given intel about an imminent Al Qaeda attack, but ignored it, as their focus was on Iraq from day one. Plenty of blame to go around.

You're into full on conspircy theory territory now. I have no interest in discussing "the government did it" conspircy theories.
He also pleaded with the buddies of the Bushs, the Saudis to take bin Laden in 1996 as he'd committed no crimes against US interests at the time but the Saudis said no.

In a word: HOGWASH! Planning the Iraq invasion had Bush too occupied to worry about OBL.
Since you seem to enjoy slinging blame, let's throw some at Ronnie Raygun, OK?
After all, he supported bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Bush had the chance to act and plotted a yuuuge waste of American blood and taxpayer $$$ of no benefit to the US instead.

Your widdle Donny would've happily sold him a condo.
